Considering the world events of the past 24 hours, Wildcat11 thought now would be as an appropriate as time to post up this spine tingling pre-game talk from former Intelligence Specialist/Army Ranger B.Z. Brown.

B.Z. addressed the 'Cats before this past year's game vs Willamette. Having guest speakers come and address the team is a non-typical event for the 'Cats and I was surprised when Coach Smith introduced his childhood friend to talk to our 'Cats about the similarities between being a special operator and a elite college football team/player. B.Z. didn't come in with fire and brimstone but just delivered his message with such conviction and truth that it took an already fired up Wildcat team and just sharpened their focus that much more.

I've watched this many times and it delivers chills each time listen to B.Z.'s message. Wildcat11 is thankful and indebted to people like B.Z. who are protecting us without fanfare and praise. Thank you to those that do the heavy lifting and swing the hammer when necessary.

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
